OUR VISION

The Special Education Services team is committed to beliefs and practices that meet the social, emotional, and academic needs of every student. We believe that all students should have equitable access to inclusive environments that provide high-quality educational opportunities and that each student be given the individualized support and resources needed to develop, achieve, and thrive as they create a pathway to long term success in school and life.

OUR MISSION

Our mission is to ensure quality leadership and guidance through ongoing collaboration and comprehensive professional development for all Special Education staff and to provide student-friendly, culturally responsive practices with fidelity to all students. We will provide family support through community resource linkage, training, and networking opportunities that prepare students for long-term success in school and life.

OUR GOALS

To provide students with the academic, social, emotional, and behavioral supports necessary to allow them to reach their greatest growth potential.

To invest in our Special Education teachers and paraprofessionals by providing ongoing guidance and support, professional learning opportunities, flexible curriculum, and behavioral resources that cultivate a skilled, valued, and supported team that will foster teacher confidence in the classroom.

To welcome and engage with our families in collective partnerships to share feedback needed to build exceptional experiences for our students.

To partner with our community to provide intentional learning opportunities that are fun, hands-on, and provide students with real-life experiences.
